Thanks for the replies guys. I was interested in getting a used PRS-505 because I assumed it would be cheaper and I really liked the reader. To me it did exactly what I needed it to do, aside from some poor PDF rendering. I was planning on hanging on to it until a newer generation of readers came a long.

However, since it's still too costly, I think I'm going to go with the Nook. It's affordable, easy to use, has newer e-Ink technology, looks faster than the PRS-505, etc. So I will probably get this device for now and stick with it until a new generation of e-Readers show significant improvements from the current generations.
If you havn't purchased your 505 yet, take a look at the K3. It is 21% smaller then the K2 and smaller then the Nook. It has the new Pearl screen which people on this board have posted is at least as good as if not better then the 505 screen. And it has collections. I love my collections (aka folders).
